Small companions. A whole lot of heart.
Little buddies.
Big comfort.
A little friend can brighten a difficult day. We’re creating NFC-enabled flexi pets to bring a little comfort, connection, and joy to children in hospitals.
Big heart.

Say hello to Brooklyn’s Buddies
Small friends.
Wonderful possibilities.
Little personalities with a bigger purpose. Our early creations inspired a new chapter: flexi pets made to give to children in hospitals.
FROM OUR FIRST CREATIONS
A little bee. A big beginning.
One of the little companions that helped turn an idea into something worth sharing.
The next chapter A buddy to hold.
A story to discover.
We’re developing NFC-enabled flexi pets, each with its own character page. A phone tap will open a little story and a message of encouragement.
The heart behind the buddies
It started with Brooklyn.
It grew with kindness.
During Brooklyn’s hospital stay after a serious accident, her family brought along a handful of their 3D-printed flexi pets.
They asked about sharing them with other children receiving care. Those small companions sparked smiles and an idea: what if we could keep sharing that little moment of joy?
That’s the heart of Brooklyn’s Buddy Project.
Today, we’re building a donation-supported project to create buddies for children in hospitals. Brooklyn’s experience is our inspiration. Bringing a little kindness to other families is our purpose.
Hi, I’m Bee Buddy.
A little story.
A little encouragement.
A buddy by your side.
Take today one little moment at a time.
A little connection, one tap away
There’s a story
in this little friend.
We’re designing each buddy to carry a little more than personality. Its NFC tag will open that character’s own welcoming page.
Character pages are ready to explore. The physical NFC tags are being developed and have not yet been programmed.
For hospital teams
Let’s make room for a little joy.
We’d love to learn what would work for your patients and your team. We’ll discuss materials, age suitability, cleaning, and packaging with each hospital before arranging a donation.
A little help goes into every buddy
Help make the
next little friend.
Your support will help cover the direct material costs of creating buddies for children in hospitals.
Keystone Web Studios donates all of its time to creating the pets and their software ecosystem. Kindness is what brings the two together.
We plan to pursue 501(c)(3) recognition. The project is not currently recognized as a 501(c)(3), and contributions are not represented as tax-deductible.
Made possible, together.

A few things you might be wondering
Little questions. Clear answers.
Can I buy a buddy here?
Brooklyn’s Buddy Project is a donation-supported hospital project. We introduce the buddies and welcome support for their material costs. We do not sell products here.
What will donations pay for?
Direct material costs. Keystone Web Studios donates all of its time to creating the pets and their software ecosystem. Online donations will open when our donation arrangements are in place.
Does every child need an account?
No. The planned NFC experience opens a shared page for that buddy character, without asking children to create accounts or provide personal information.
Is the project a registered 501(c)(3)?
Not yet. We plan to pursue 501(c)(3) recognition. We will state our status accurately as the project develops and are not promising tax deductibility.
How can a hospital get involved?
Start a conversation with us about your team’s needs and acceptance requirements. We’ll coordinate suitability, materials, cleaning, and packaging before arranging a donation.
